Re: Is Linux IPTABLES firewall comparable with license Firewall

["Joel" <zealous@bonbon.net>]

Linux based products generally use iptables for firewall.
i dont know much checkpoint.
firewall using iptables is mostly used on the internet..
if u know what u want to open and what u have to block then iptables is the
ultimate choice.
i dont have issues with it.
